5. There is no excuse for them not filibustering - NONE
I have not seen one good reason posted on the board in defense of the dems not filibustering. NOT ONE. And, a no vote offers NO political cover for those who did not filibuster. In my eyes, a no vote is the same as a yes vote.

4. For those who understand history -after this comes a new version
of something like the Third Reich's Enabling Act, imo.

7. I agree. It will be as bad, or worse.
Within a year, they will be "amending" the Constitution to suit their whims...and the SC will just rubberstamp it all. The Great American Experiment is over today.

10. the repubs took over SCOTUS when chimpy was declared winner in 2004
You become president, you get to name SCOTUS justices, particularly when you also control a majority of the Senate. It sucks, but its been inevitable for a while. onenote
